A Chinese tourist visiting Pattaya, Thailand, reportedly found himself in an expensive predicament after his passport and luxury watch allegedly went missing from his hotel room.<\/p>\n

The missing timepiece was no ordinary watch. It was a diamond-encrusted Patek Philippe Nautilus believed to be worth around 20 million baht (approximately S$765,000).<\/p>\n

According to reports, 2 women, aged 30 and 24, allegedly demanded 20,000 baht (around S$765) to return his belongings.<\/p>\n

The tourist reportedly paid the amount, but only got his passport back. The expensive watch was allegedly kept by the pair.<\/p>\n

Following a police report, officers investigated the incident and eventually arrested both suspects. The missing Patek Philippe was subsequently recovered and returned to its owner.<\/p>\n

Both individuals denied the allegations during questioning.<\/p>\n

Imagine losing a watch worth S$765,000 while travelling overseas!<\/p>\n

**What would you do if you were carrying a watch worth that much on holiday?**<\/p>\n
